You Must Get Your
Super-Six Now
That is if You Plan Getting a Hudson
To Fulfill Future Automobile Needs
t Can you rely upon the car you now have to serve you through
, the years to come?
It grow more apparent that new cars will become more diffi
cult to obtain.
Already there is tremendous demand for the makes of
established reliability.
Certain types of Super-Sixes of this season's production are
entirely sold out
Our allotments have again been reduced the third time this
year.
Some Hudson dealers have sold all the cars that can be allotted
them on this season's production.
. Buyers see the importance of getting a Super-Six now. They
are now making provision for their needs for the years before
them, for no one knows just how long it will be possible to get
quality cars, or how long it will be before normal production will
be restored. "'.''.
t. Experienced buyers will naturally choose those cars they
know can be relied upon to give long, hard service without requir
... ing expensive and constant service attention.
' The records for endurance established by the Super-Six make
it first choice with those who require super-performance. Men
are buying Hudsons to meet future needs as well as for today's
requirements. They know new cars may not long be so easily
obtainable.
The supply of proved cars will be the first to be taken.
Then, only the second-choice cars will be available.
Hudson supremacy has been established in many contests of
endurance. Super-Six records for performance, in long distance
runs (twice across the continent in one instance), in racing and
" in the most difficult hill climbs, still stand after two years of
attempts on the part of others to defeat them. To this is added
the individual performances of almost 60,000 Super-Sixes as
, . proof of Hudson reliability.
You can absolutely provide for your future motoring needs by
getting a Super-Six, but you must act quickly for the supply is
.. limited.
The time when premiums will be paid to assure delivery of a
Hudson is apparently not far off.
. The present available stock includes a few Runabout Lan
daus, a two-passenger model of marked charm and great riding
comfort, "

are giving effective aid to the Italian
infantry in driving back the Austrians
toward the Piave.
One of the principal activities of al
lied aviators, who now have been
joined by American fliers, is to pre
vent Austrian airmen from delivering
sacks of bread and other dry foods to
the Austrian troops on the western
side of the Piave, where the Aus
trians still are fighting tenaciously.
Around Montello and in the region
of the lower Piave Italian cavalry is
being used to hejp push the enemy
back. They are helped by armored
cars, carrying machine guns.
The rising waters of the Piave and
the activity of the Italian artillery are
making it difficult for the Austrians
to obtain food. While the water car
ries some bridges away and damages
others, the gunners are sinking boats
and hammering the damaged bridges
and floats.
Vienna, June 22. Italian attacks on
Montello were repulsed, according to
the official renort from Austrian head
quarters today, which gives the num
ber or prisoners taicen Dy the Aus
trians in the present offensive as 40,-
000.
U. S. Officials on Guard
Against "Peace Offensive"
Washington, June 22. Warnings
by British Foreign Minister Balfour,
statements by Count Burian, the Aus
trian foreign minister, and editorials
in Austrian and German newspapers,
all bearing on the question of peace
negotiations have put the officials here
on their guard against what has come
to be known as a German "peace
offensive."
They find on a close study of the
diplomacy of the great war up to date
that these movements always are to
be expected when the central powers
have completed an offensive which
has resulted in a gain of entente territory.
American Transport
Is Attacked by U-Boat
Upon Homeward Trip
An Atlantic Port, June 22. An
American troop transport, formerly
a German liner, which returned this
week from a French port, was sub
jected to a shell fire attack -rom -
German submarine two days out from
the port of departure, it became
known here today. The transport
escaped by superior speed, although a
running battle of more than an" hour
took place in which more than 100
shots were fired by the two vessels.
The submarine appeafed to have
one gun that outranged any carried
by the transport and from this gun
there were counted 35 shots, none
'of which, however, hit the American
ship. The submarine did not venture
close enough to use a torpedo and
finally gave up the pursuit.
